Female Lions on the Hunt

The Xudum Pride mothers must make a kill to feed their young lion cubs. Slowly, they spread out in the tall grass to stalk a large herd of zebras. Hunting as a group helps lions take down much larger prey. When a fourth female joins the lioness mothers in the hunt, their success becomes even more likely.
